Forgot to mention in my last post, my friend Juan will be joining me and Jen on Saturday. He's been brewing extract for a little while, but looking to break into AG. Hopefully he'll find the experience as enlightening as I did when first showing up.

Well, it looks like I won't make it for any brewing, if at all. I sort of pulled the trigger on a pair of 10gallon corny kegs, which depleted any discretionary spending I have. Plus, I brewed some Belgian Strong for my birthday this weekend. SWMBO wasn't too happy with my excessive spending recently (she's right). So I'm going to go on haiatus for a while until my allowance category fills back up.

Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. When the beer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Wes, let me know if your PMs are clear, and I'll send you my number. Give me a call if you go out to Tom's this week.

PM box is cleared out now. I ended up traveling to MdHB on sunday to get makings for next weekend and my oaked barleywine. Probably won't be heading down for a few more weeks now, but send me your # anyways.
